Abstract:
This paper reviews the history of polyester polymer concrete highway and bridge deck overlay with a focus on the work done in California and adjacent states. The paper discusses the early work done at Brookhaven Labs, the watershed I-80 job done at Donner Pass (including updates relating to the job), and then reviews the large number of successes over the last thirty years.

A wide variety of advanced constmction materials have been developed to meet certain needs and solve specific problems. These materials have all come under the umbrella title of "Polymer Concrete"(PC). Using different types of resins and fillers, composites can be formulated having totally different physical properties. This paper will review several different PC formulations that were developed at Brookbaven National Laboratory (BNL) and installed at operating facilities by construction contractors. The three materials selected for this review are: A) Insulating Polymer Concrete (IPC) for dike insulation at Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) facilities; B) Electrically Conductive Polymer Concrete Overlays used in conjunction with a cathodic protection system on a deteriorated bridge deck and C) Precast PC vaults for natural gas regulator stations.

Polymer concrete materials stand today as a very promising group of new building materials. This paper presents a brief overview of the use of polymers in concrete in various industrial applications over the past fifty years. Classification, production, and main advantages and disadvantages of polymer concrete materials are presented. Their physical, mechanical, and chemical properties are reviewed and compared to those of the conventional portland cement concrete. Hazards involved in handling, transporting, storing and mixing the chemicals used to produce polymer concrete materials are discussed, and safety consideration are presented.

The paper reviews the historical development of polymers in concrete, and the history of ACI Committee 548, and it’s sister organization, the International Congresses on Polymers in Concrete. Polymer concretes and polymer modified concretes have been studied and used since the1940’s and 1950’s; polymer impregnated concretes have been studied starting in the mid 1960s. Three categories of concrete that contain polymers are: (1) polymer concrete (PC), (2) polymer modified concrete (PMC), and (3) polymer-impregnated concrete (PIC). Committee 548 was started in 1971, and from the start has been one of the most active and productive committees in ACI. The committee has produced seven documents, most of which have required committee action to reaffirm or revise over the years. The committee has also organized and conducted nine technical sessions at ACI Conventions, which have produced Special Publications (SP), and has organized two National ACI Seminars.

This paper discusses polymer impregnation in the repairs of concrete damaged by cavitation/erosion at Dworshak dam. Impregnation was performed on conventional concrete, fibrous concrete, and dry-pack patches. The repairs included vertical and horizontal surfaces. Testing which demonstrated the improved resistance of polymer impregnated concrete to cavitation and erosion damage are summarized. With approximately 25 years of experience, the repairs have performed extremely well, although it should be noted that modifications were made about 8 years after the polymer repairs to minimize cavitation in the outlets by aeration. To date, this is the most complex known polymer impregnation project performed under a construction contract.
